In this episode, I'm joined by Kate Pope, GAPS-certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, for a conversation about food, lifestyle, and the body's incredible capacity to heal. Kate shares her own experiences navigating healing, including rebuilding her son's gut after a C-section and learning how to recognize and work through "die-off" symptoms without pushing the body too far, too fast. We also talk about the connection between a mother's health and her baby's microbiome, why our family environments can influence the symptoms we experience, and how we can begin making health a normal part of the conversation in our homes.

In this episode we dig into the physiology behind being easily triggered: how under-fueling the body keeps us in a low-grade stress state, why chronic stress can make everyday drama feel normal, and how to recognize the pattern in yourself. We also talk about a compassionate approach to relating with people who are under nourished and over stressed.
